I'm sorry you lost your friend. I'm sure that was hard for you. A quick comment for Anne above:

I'm sure her doctor recommended the MRI since of her family history. She is a great actress and we need more movies like The Sweetest Thing! :) I wish Christina a speedy recovery and so happy they caught it in time!

I really like Christina Applegate. She is a great artist. I love Samantha, Who? My best friend died of metastatic breast cancer. She battled it for 6 years and there was no family history and she was an athlete on top of that (very healthy). It's a dreadful disease to all those involved in it: patient, family, friends, caregivers. My prayers to Christina Applegate. I wish her a speedy recovery. I really like Christina Applegate. She is a great artist. I love Samantha, Who?

I do have coverage and the MIR is already scheduled, I'll just pay the coinsurance in payments over time. I'm doing it! I won't let my husband and daughter down by not taking care of potential problems, I can tell you that. They deserve better and so do I. It's just a shame I have to calcuate what this will cost and for how many months I'll be paying on it. Thank you for your kind words and prayers, seriously. You have mine, as well.

Most people who are diagnosed have NO family history The disease is much more aggressive in younger women Having BRCA/family history MAY get you early screening from your insurance company Please don't assume that catching it early is a guarantee. Every breast cancer has a different pathology and every person will respond differently to treatment and I have watched friends who were early stage and with non-invasive tumors (stage 0) get mets. For her publicist to release this statement that it is not life threatening is not only incredibly ignorant, but also very irresponsible. Also to say that she will have a full recovery just makes it sound like catching it early is a guarantee for survival and minimizes the severity of the situation.

And to those who have lost the fight. We buried a close friend of the family this past June who lost her fight to cancer. It started out as breast cancer and she had a mastectomy...but they didn't do any chemo (or radiation) afterwards, and the cancer came back as non-Hodgkins lymphoma. I hope the prognosis for Ms. Applegate is as optimistic as it sounds, and maybe it might help her (spirits) to know that her diagnosis is generating a lot of important discussion about women and cancer.

Get the MRI, and dammit, if we have to set up a PayPal account to help you defray the costs, I'll be the first in line. Can you possibly get to a Planned Parenthood for 1) less expensive testing and 2) another opinion? This country's healthcare setup is a disgrace. (I don't want to start a flame war, but PP is not just for pregnancy terminations. They also provide lower cost reproductive care to women who need it, from pregnancy and STD testing to procedures and tests.) Please keep us updated, and I'll pray for you. (The only reason I get away with the 6 month US is because of my family history and the fact that I had a silver dollar-sized complex cyst removed from my left ovary in November 2006. No chances.)

Lengthy exposure to intense electromagnetic waves, say through stereo speakers and microphones can lead to cancer development. You’re on the right track.
